Maxwell Maltz and Dan Kennedy- The New Psycho-Cybernetics

Psycho-Cybernetics is a classic self-help book, written by Maxwell Maltz in 1960 and published by the non-profit Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation. Motivational and self-help experts in personal development, including Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy have based their techniques on Maxwell Maltz. Many of the psychological methods of training elite athletes are based on the concepts in Psycho-Cybernetics as well.[2] The book combines the cognitive behavioral technique of teaching an individual how to regulate self-concept developed by Prescott Lecky with the cybernetics of Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann. The book defines the mind-body connection as the core in succeeding in attaining personal goals.[3]

Maltz found that his plastic surgery patients often had expectations that were not satisfied by the surgery, so he pursued a means of helping them set the goal of a positive outcome through visualization of that positive outcome.[3] Maltz became interested in why setting goals works. He learned that the power of self-affirmation and mental visualization techniques used the connection between the mind and the body. He specified techniques to develop a positive inner goal as a means of developing a positive outer goal. This concentration on inner attitudes is essential to his approach, as a person's outer success can never rise above the one visualized internally.

Psycho-Cybernetics is one of the MOST plagiarized books EVER. No self-help industry, no "The Secret". Who the hell is Dan Kennedy?!? Just another jerk trying to make money off of the coat-tail of a true visionary; Maxwell Maltz.

*(Maltz set up Psycho-Cybernetics as a NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION-- Ignore imposters who pervert Maltz's thoughts for their own financial gain).

Thanks for posting this. I bought Psycho-Cybernetics about a year ago and had some problems understanding some concepts in the book. Although I have not listened to this post in its entirety, what I have heard so far has help me.
